Trying to stop a two-game goalless skid, the Islanders at least got goals but still put in a disappointing performance Saturday afternoon on Long Island. Brady Tkachuk finished a hat trick on an overtime power play to send fans home disappointed and frustrated.
If there’s a silver lining, it’s that it could have been worse. The Isles were actually down 3-2 in the final minute — and that in itself was plenty frustrating — but they got a late Bo Horvat power play goal, with the sixth attacker, to salvage a point and send the game to overtime.
